Difficult to advise because i have no idea what benefits you claim and whether you have a partner or not.
I'm not sure what UV is? As you're daughter doesn't claim a qualifying benefit then you won't be entitled to any severe disability premium.
Have you thought about looking into Universal Credit? The non-dependent deductions wouldn't start on UC until your daughter is 21, and they tend not to be as harsh as the ones on HB. Your support group status would be honoured and the deductions for your ESA overpayment can be negotiated. It doesn't work for everyone and there is a lot to consider (such as monthly payments, which don't suit everyone, and it can change your council tax support amount) and I'd strongly advise using a better off calculator to double check the amounts.

Thanks for the kind words! You can't claim UC as well as your ESA. Your ESA award would be honoured in UC. Please see Adrian's advice above.
